Baltimore Sun.
The work Of day in any given
line of labor, is history in brief Of
the work Of lifetime. And when we
take up the thread Of duty it is we'll
to remember that one day is but the
fellow of another, and patiently toll on
TO the end. Labor is not in itself pain
full, though there are many who make
it so, for it is a familiar fact that the
hardest tasks are often accomplished
without causing distress or overtaxing
the strength of a single man amcng
many hundreds, each Of whom has had
difficult part to do in their perform
ance. 1t SO happens, however, that
circumstances of q disturbing nature
often occur which give rise to discon-
tent among men and women every
where. They may proceed from dis
ease, anxiety, and the mental strain to
which nervous temperaments are apt
to subject persons ambitious of rapid
advancement in condition or fortune.
The mechanic who falls = prey to dis
content becomes weary with bis work
long before the day is ended, while
his more cheerful companion at the
same bench wonders that the day has
ended so soon. The housewife, I'M
spired by hopes which are constantly
failing Of realization, grows pale and
weary, broods over the drudgery of
everyday life, and slghs for q season
Of rest, somehmes even the rest OF
death while tho servant girl, trained
to toll, performs tho toughest duties
cheerfully, and sallies out upon her
holiday with rosy cheeks and sparkling
eyes, as if life were filled with visions
of paradise, aud its burdens were but
bagatelles.
Illustrations such as these may be
drawn from every sphere Of labor 10
show much of the weariness of life ID
the product of over sensativeness, of
misdirected hope, Of Expectations not
justified by circumstances, and null
titude OF other contributing causes,
all of which might, for the most part,
be prevented by the cultivation Of a
patient and eontented spirit Good
health usually attends upon patience
and eontentmcnt, but even where
health is wanting, the mind 40 equip
ped can bear up against the ills OF
life much better than that Of the ro-
bust, but fretful man or woman. 1t
was aptly written by famous poet
"The everyday cares and duties, which
men call drudgery, are the weights and
counterpois of the clock of time, Civ
ing its pendulum true vibration and
its hands regular motion and when
they cease to hang upon the wheels,
the pendulum no longer swings, the
hands nc longer move; the clock stands
STILL"
The "drudgery Of life" ID life itself.
and for the lack of it many retired
merchant and professional man has
hastened to his grave or hung tremb.
ling upon the brink of il, physical
and sometimes a mental wreck, need
ing to be tended like a child long be-
fore the period which nature claims as
the age Of second childhood. 1t is
well, therefore, to look at the patient
side of life for our examples; to avoid
the teaching Of those who "Imaglne a
vain thing,' set up false gods and sow
the seeds of discomfort; and to live
aud labor with the consciousness that
we have not in our pride or our folly
doomed ourselves TO the "toil of drop
ping buckets into empty wells and
growing old in drawing nothing up"

A most horrible discovery was made
in Green county, Texas, last Satur-
day. The dead body of John Keeth
was found wrapped in blanket and
concealed in the carcass of dead
horse. 1t Is supposed he was mur-
dered and his body concealed there
by his murderer. Keeth was brother
in-law of William Deshain. He had
been missing for several days. A dog
belonging to Deshain came into the
house Saturday morning carrying
something in his mouth which, when
examined, was found TO be the hand
of man. Deshain tracked the dog
TO the carcass of the horse and was
Mortified to find the body of his
brother.in-law therein, half eaten up
by dogs. 1t was a horrible sight.
The mystery connected with the affair
will probably never be solved. keet6

The New York Sun has been investigat-

Taking ten OF the lal gest local assemblies
which on the first Of July. 1886. had a
total membership Of 104. 400, it is found
that in nine months the membership fell
of to 61.79S. a decrease of more than 40
per cent. This decrease. however, is
not caused by the withdrawal of the same
element in all sections. In the East the
more conservative members remain in
the order, while in the Northwest and
Southwest the radicals have gained BY a
majority In membership, the control of the

The action of two Southern companies
in falling out of line during the grand re-
view at the National encampment drill in
Washington on Wednesday. because of
their position behind colored company
was decidedly discourteous to President
Cleveland in whose honor the parade was
given. Further it strikes us that such an
exhibition of the intolerance of the negro
was emphatically out of place at this en-
campment and should be deemed an insult
to the colored troops. deserving the pun
ishment of being debarred from partici-
pating in the remaining exercises.
Mr.. Erastus Wiman suggests very
practical plan for aiding workingmen to
secure homes. Il is for associations or
private individuals to erect houses and
sell them to laborers on the installment
plan. holding as a security an insurance
policy on the life of the purchaser. For
instance. on house costing $4,000 the
workingman would pay $500 down and
the holder of the mortgage would take
out a short-time life insurance policy on
the buyers life for $1,000. Then if the
workingman died before the mortgage
was paid the house would go to his family,
the insurance company paying the
MORTGAGE the balance due on the
property. This plan insures home for
the workingman's family in case of his
death. which would not so result under
the old installment plan in which il the
property were not wholly paid for. it re-
verified to the mortgage. Mr.. Wiman's plan
has not however, been tested and until it has
been, that proposed by building and loan
associations which has so frequently been
proved successful, seems to be the one to
be preferred.
